Or Beer ??They say you can catch more flies with honey than vinegar?I caught more fruit flies with beer. I had seen a couple of videos on catching fruit flies with vinegar but there was some beer in the refrigerator (it was a year old), so I put both out.

I had a very bad toilet bowl to clean. It was VERY neglected!! The area under the water line had a thick lime build up and was scummy. It had a bad ring at the water line and above. It was very gross! I had tried several things to no avail. I thought that I would have to resort to putting the gloves on and scrubbing with a pumice stone.

The Works toilet bowl cleaner

So I tried this - The Works by Home Care Labs. I had used it years ago and it worked well, but I never had a toilet this bad before! I found it in the grocery store "Ingles". It has a bent top so you can squirt it up under the rim. I applied The Works and left it several hours. When I came back to it, I was able to swish the bowl with a light toilet wand and everything came off quickly.

Here is a great idea if you are building or redesigning your kitchen. One of my ladies has 2 trash bins that pull out from under the kitchen counter. The front is covered by a matching cabinet door. It is on the left of the kitchen sink. The dishwasher is on the right of the sink.

You can use the extra back bin as a trash over flow, or use it for recycling. Convenient and clever!

I usually clean one floor at a time. It is a waste of time to plug in the vacuum and then unplug it to go to another room. I like to use an extension cord connected to the vacuum so I can vacuum the whole upstairs or downstairs without the interruption of unplugging and moving to each room.

Designers should have an electric plug in a central position on each floor.

Those robot vacuums are not cheap. Here is an alternative. The O Cedar O Duster Robotic Floor Cleaner is available through Walmart for $31.96. It spins around dusting hardwood floors, even under furniture. The sides of the duster pad are flexible.
